He really was sick.

"To the Imperial Physician."

"I am a doctor myself, there is no need for Your Highness to worry." Gu Danyan stood up, feeling a headache coming on, and handed the cloak to the palace maid by his side. He then let a eunuch lead her out of the palace.

It wasn't good for Duan Chengxuan to return to the empress dowager's side at this moment, so he could only return to the estate with Gu Mingyan one after the other.

As soon as he arrived at the mansion, Gu Danyan locked himself in his room due to illness, but she still sent Qingmei to Duan Chengxuan's study and asked, "Has the prince's divorce letter been written?"

"Tell her that This King still owes her a child." Duan Chengxuan was so angry that he broke the wolf hair on his hand.

As the young girl left dejectedly, Cheng Shan and the other ghosts both looked at Duan Chengxuan, unsure of what was happening.

Only Duan Chengxuan felt a slight sense of guilt in his heart. Indeed, he owed Gu Danyan a debt of guilt, and it was only right that he tolerate her. However, every time he saw Gu Danyan's stubborn appearance, he would become extremely angry.

When it was time for lunch, Su Yu Wan instructed people to prepare the dishes in the room beside the study.

Duan Chengxuan's mood eased up a bit, at least Wan'er's body was much stronger now, and normally he would be able to move about in the Prince's Mansion, but the slap yesterday was rather dazzling.

"Big brother Xuan, since Gu Danyan wants your paper, why didn't you give it to her?" Su Yuwan suddenly opened her mouth with the bowl in her hand.

"She can't lift any waves." Duan Chengxuan's good mood instantly vanished without a trace.

"Then is Big Brother Xuan really going to give her a child?" Su Yuwan simply slammed the chopsticks on the table and looked at Duan Chengxuan indignantly. "If Big Brother Xuan wants a child, I can also …"

"Wan'er." Duan Cheng Xuan interrupted her and looked at her helplessly. "We owed her in the first place."

"But if it wasn't for her …"

"She was not the one who did this. She had never made that poison before. In ten to twelve percent of cases, she had clearly remembered all the poisons she made." Duan Chengxuan sighed lightly and looked at Su Yuwan with an even more helpless expression. "Wan'er, Master once said that you've already misunderstood her and taken her bones and blood. You can't get any worse out of it."

Big Brother Xuan had actually scolded her like this for the sake of a mere Gu Dan Yan!

Su Yu Wan's eyes reddened: "Big brother Xuan still likes her, right?"

Duan Chengxuan was silent. Of course he wanted to enjoy the blessings of the two of them. Now that Su Yuwan and Gu Danyan were like water and fire, neither side was fawning on him. It was rather difficult for him.

Since she had received her answer, Su Yu Wan looked at the dishes on the table and felt that they were boring.

"Then Wan'er might as well return to the sect …" Su Yu Wan suddenly stood up and walked out.

Duan Chengxuan hurriedly pulled his back. "Wan'er, what are you saying? Other than the Imperial Palace, I normally don't care about Gu Mingyan. I'll only discuss the matter of our child after you've recovered."

Duan Chengxuan's words were a bit ambiguous, but it sounded as if he wanted to ask Su Yu Wan for a child. The latter instantly blushed and shyly pushed Duan Cheng Xuan, who was beside her, as she reprimanded, "Exactly whose child does Big Brother Xuan want …"

"What did Wan-Er say?" Duan Chengxuan pulled her back to the table with half an arm and a half hug, but he also kept repeating the same thing.

The next day, the empress dowager summoned Prince Jing and Princess Jing to the palace with her.

In the eyes of the empress dowager, she wished she could teach this son of an unknown wife, Duan Chenxuan, a good lesson. Senior Servant Gui could only point out the premise, "Prince, what the empress dowager wants to see is only the love of your husband and wife."

Duan Cheng Xuan's face was unsightly, and because she was troubled by trifling matters, she was so tired that she didn't want to let go of her face.

On the other hand, Gu Daiyan was busy checking the pulse of the empress dowager before turning around to discuss the medicinal ingredients in detail with the other imperial physicians. His other hand was writing something on a piece of paper, as if writing down a prescription for someone else.

After a while, the eunuch outside the door came running in. "Imperial Physician Wang, esteemed wangfei is feeling weak after waking up this morning. I'd like to invite you to go take a look."

The empress dowager did not speak. Instead, she spoke up in a soft voice, "If there's nothing else, you go first. I'll take the prescription to the imperial hospital in a bit, and if there's a hysteria like this again in the future, I believe there'll be a cure."

"Many thanks to Your Highness wangfei." Imperial Physician Wang left as if he'd been pardoned.

However, the eunuch still didn't leave. His small eyes darted around for a bit before kneeling in front of the empress dowager. "Esteemed Empress Dowager, esteemed wangfei also said that she wants to invite esteemed wangfei's hall for a trip."

"What is Consort Xian looking for?" Her Majesty took a sip of the soup, puzzled.

"The Concubine Xian said that thanks to Crown Princess Jing taking care of the estate for the fourth prince and her usual care, the fourth prince's consort happened to come to the palace today to pay her respects as well. She called her over to take a seat, just in time to express her gratitude." The eunuch nodded her head and bowed as he spoke, chuckling merrily.

"Oh? "There's actually such a thing?" The empress dowager's eyes instantly lit up. It seemed like the relationship between Crown Prince Jing and the fourth prince was not bad, and the relationship between the fourth prince and Duan Chengxuan was also not bad. Thinking about it this way, Yan'Er really did like Prince Jing.

With this thought in mind, the empress dowager still let Gu Daiyan simply go once.

Gu Daiyan bowed and left. Before he left, he obviously let out a sigh of relief.

When they arrived at Princess Jing Yu's sleeping quarters, Litchi had already bowed to her. Princess Xian did not confer a seat to her, but instead dismissed everyone around her. She looked at Gu Danyan with a solemn face: "Princess Jing, I called you here today because I have something to discuss with you."

"I wonder why esteemed wangfei is doing this?" Gu Danyan fearlessly stood in the middle of the palace. Her gaze fell on Litchi Bay, but she turned her head to avoid it.

Ye Zichen squinted his eyes. It seemed like Litchi Bay said something.

"Although I am very grateful to you for standing up for Yu'er that day, allowing her to marry Litchi Bay and return home." Consort Xian's expression changed as she changed the topic of the conversation, "But aren't you thinking too highly of yourself? You actually want to change Yu'er's mind."

"I don't understand what esteemed wangfei said."

"You made Yu'er retract her edge while you made Duke Jing shine even more brilliantly in the imperial court …" Consort Xian also talked about the things that the Jing King had done, but Gu Tinyan didn't know anything about it.

After Consort Xian finished speaking, Gu Pingyan's lips curved up, "What does Concubine Xian think the Fourth Prince should do now? Showing off his strength and competing with others? "Then he will definitely become a thorn in Prince Jing's side. He still hasn't completely established himself in the imperial court and he wants to topple Prince Jing. This is like striking a stone with an egg."

Consort Xian was infuriated. Litchi Bay's face was also pale. "So, you also did it for King Jing …"

"If it was for King Jing, I would have definitely informed him of everything that happened today." Gu Pingyan sneered and left while waving his sleeves. He did not stop his words, "If Miss Litchi is to sow discord again, this wangfei will definitely inform His Highness the fourth prince of this matter."

Consort Xian slapped the armrest and her face turned cold. Litchi Bay, on the other hand, was helpless. Why wasn't Gu Mingyan afraid of anyone?
